      Evening Steve,

      It's difficult to tell which airplane the rudder came from. It could be, like Tim said, from a Fokker or from a Roland, Pfalz, Albatros or others. The good news is, if you check them out, you'll see the colors they were painted gives you many possibilities, including the white shown. HTHs a bit.......

      Prost

          Hi Steve
          It’s not a Dr.1. I think it’s an Albatros DV/DVa. And there’s loads of colour options to choose from (even a Richthofen Red machine).
          Hope this helps

              From looking at my own models of world war 1 aircraft I'd say it a fokker EII. Triplane has a round tail with a flat base Albatross would be huge. But the EII looks the part.

                My vote goes to the Albatross rudder.

                  +1 on the Bert Ross. The hinge is in the wrong place for the EII Alan (sorry).
